It's time to talk about the GOAT RPG of all time

It's time to talk about the GOAT RPG of all time.

That's not Bloodlines.

Which is the best clan and why is it the Nosferatu?

That's not Dragon's Dogma.

>best game to be a dick
>never actually be a dick
fuck me
also, when are we going to get another RPG where everyone is fucking racist/angry at everyone ?
Those damn dwarves politics, best dwarves ever.

That's not Baldur's Gate

it is but 3d

>generic Tolkien fantasy
>GOAT

It tries, i'd say it's probably equal or a bit better than BG 1, still not even close to BG 2 tho.

Honestly one of my favourite games of all time.

Honestly it's the best possible version of Baldur's Gate, the game has aged terribly and Dragon Age Origins removed a lot of the irritating bullshit about BG

>didn't play it

The elfs are the niggers here.

just because elves and dwarves exist doesn't mean it's generic tolkien

DAO was a highly flawed mess of a game that was nevertheless entertaining, and it promised to deliver much more on an eventual more polished sequel. Kind of like The Witcher 1. Except the witcher delivered on those promises in the sequel, while DA2 was a fucking joke.

DA:O actually offers a story and characters worth paying attention to and, unlike BG, a lot of RP freedom. Let's be frank here, BG was barely an RPG. It's a "let's gather my party and roam the country-side and see what adventures we can get into", the systems are all there, the world is fleshed out but the character interaction is dogshit. Like a GM you can't talk to and a table you can't RP with - you go from one railroaded encounter to the next and the world always treats you the same.

Witcher was made with passion and government funding, while DA2 was supposed to be just the last expansion to DA:O, but guess who put a gun to the devs heads with an ultimatum.

MMVI is a real rpb, BG2, IWD2, fallout2, arcanum. Get out.

Dragon Age has aged worse than Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age was already outdated graphic and technology wise when it came out.
Plus now you have the enhanced edition of BG that makes it work flawlessly on modern pcs.

I'd say theres only one reason to like Dragon Age over BG and thats absolutely hating the D&D mechanics and prefering the DA custom ones.

Please don't act like Bioware is innocent.

I played it recently and it was a huge disappointment.
I tried every single background and they were all really lame.
Stopped playing after that.

Dragons Dogma is just an offline MMO with a terrible, disjointed story and bad mechanics hidden under flashy animations.

Bloodlines was pretty neat for it's time but it's far from perfect. There's a bunch of irritating stuff in it.

Of course they're not, they wilingly went under EA

DA2's focus on a much smaller story with a character driven narrative was actually a really good idea. They just fucked it up by presenting you with the same 3 environments, giving you choices that resulted in jack-shit and tried to cram 10 years of events into 3 10 hour acts. And i'm being extra charitable by ignoring all the logical inconsistencies and glaring plot holes. The basic premise was the great, just the execution was horrendous.

What are games where I can reduce the difficulty to nothing by breaking the combat system wide open?

Any modded bethesda game

Arcanum

every japanese game in existance

i think you mean the opposite

Greatest rpg in what regard?

Story?
Sorry, but that's Planescape Torment

Worldbuilding?
Sorry, but that's Morrowind

Combat?
Sorry, that's Dark Souls

Tactical combat?
Sorry, that's Jagged Alliance 2

Roleplaying options?
Sorry, that's Fallout

Maybe it's the best at being mediocre.

>Planescape Torment
>game

this is like a Sup Forums meme checklist for RPGs, it's like you don't have any real opinions

They're considered to be among the best games of all time for a reason.

Dragon Age Origins is just as mediocre as Neverwinter Nights.

Here's a (You).

Except that isn't true, in BG you have the open world freedom plus the Irenicus storyline.
Sure, you maybe don't have the modern "your actions change the outcome" But DAO doesn't change that much either.

Most characters in BG are better than the ones in DAO and they react at your actions just like in DAO and they can even fight between them.

Same with NPCs in BG they react at whatever you have done, you can do things like losing your paladin status and people mention it and act accordingly.

With DAO Bioware tried to recreate BG in a modern way and they succeeded in a lot of things it definetly has the BG feel, but its worse storywise, contentwise and combatwise.

>planescape torment
>good story

its the edgiest shit ive "played"

>dark souls
>rpg

>planescape torment is edgy
>dragon age origins is not

DAO is so childish that its more naive than edgy while planescape torment is 25 year old manchild edgy

You're lumping BG1 in with BG2. Both are very different games when it comes to narrative, character interaction and story content.

What Bioware actually succeeded in was creating a AAA CRPG. You get the production quality of a modern story driven RPG with the, relatively, complex combat of handling multiple characters in a CRPG. No other company has even tried to do that. Maybe Obsidian with NWN2.

name a non edgy rpg

What? Broodmothers were mortal women raped into demon form. How is that not edgy?

DA3
MEA
Fallout 4
Basically every AAA RPG since Witcher 3 has massively toned down the edgy content for more broader appeal.

Well yeah I should have specified that I was talking about BG2, as I said in a previous post, to me, DAO is on the same level or even slightly above BG1.

I only played through the first few hours of DA3 before getting superbored with the limited combat, but the main story seemed edgy af.

>best clan
>not Malk

Not really, you don't get many opportunities to play anything but 4 different flavors of the nice guy character. There are maybe 3 or 4 dialogue choices that allow you to even be rude and 2 of them are in the last DLC.

Fallout 4 had the GOAT storyline
Anyone who disagrees is a Sup Forums memer who bandbadwagons and has no opinions of their own

Witcher 3 could be a GOAT RPG if you could just roleplay. There's almost no dialogue options that matter and outside of a few questlines - like the fantastic one with that fat baron raping his wife - your choices don't matter.

with EDGY I mean a retarded story about muh 'evil' I dont' mean the ability to be evil. Taht's fine and not edgy. Edgy is just retarded shit like 'sauron' or something like that. the allignment of NPC doesnt make a game edgy y/n, it's how poor it's written.

>try to go for Lel
>always go to Morri
It's a curse

>one extreme example compared to a 50 hour long story

90% of all dialogue choices come down to
Yes
No(later)
Sarcasm(make a joke and agree)
Make it worth my while(more caps)

That is what i meant with severely toned down the edge. You can't even be a jerk in the vast majority of conversations/quests let alone do you get to make evil decisions with lasting consequences..

The story of DA:O is mediocre at best and was only worthwhile when there was promise that it would continue and improve. Since DA2 and Inquisition have completely killed any hope that the plot will get better, the DA:O story remains dull, lifeless, generic, and uninteresting.

did someone say RPG GOATs?
I think someone did.

>Story
Fallout 4
>Worldbuilding
Skyrim
>Combat
Witcher 3
>Tactical Combat
Mass effect: Andromeda
>Role Playing Options
DA: Inquisition

Every game here does the things you mentioned better than the games you mentioned
Brain dead 'Le hardest game ever made' Sup Forums memers and nostalgia fags need to leave.

Thanks for confirming that you're just a tryhard simpleton.

Obvious bait is obvious.

>samefagging this hard to create discussions

oh lord, this has to be a troll. DA:O is utter shit. You roll your PC, which has all the personality of a wooden board with googly eyes glued on, pick your bland origins tale that effects maybe 5 dialog options in the game, and then silent protagonist your way through Typical Fantasy World with your band of bottom bargain bin tropes. Combat is clunky, PC interaction is clunky, the story is clunky.

I wanna kiss that rpg goat

it's the worst feel,user

You think you're witty and sarcastic, but this is actually correct.

You're judging the quality of the interactions, i've been saying that DAO even has them unlike BG1.

I've been playing Inquisition because I'm bored, it's not that shitty. Just that kind of Kingdoms of Amalur type game with no personality or soul but good enough to waste some time on. It's ok.

I like the dwarf shorty scout, she's qt.
